Sen. Eric Schmitt is urging House Republicans to impeach Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after a federal appeals court halted Boasberg’s contempt investigation into Trump administration officials. Schmitt accused Boasberg of judicial abuse and criticized his efforts to find Trump officials in criminal contempt for deporting immigrants to El Salvador. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Boasberg’s investigation was improper and an abuse of discretion, leading to calls for his impeachment. However, the decision was met with a fiery dissent from Judge J. Michelle Childs, who argued that contempt of court is crucial for upholding the rule of law.
